(ThyBlackMan.com) We are all different, but we do have one thing in common. Ask anyone what they want from life, and they will inevitably answer to live a long and healthy life. The idea of passing on too soon is something that fills most of us with dread, which is why we try hard to stay on this mortal coil. But, often the tactics we use just don’t have the effect that we would like. Instead, of going forward, we either go backward or stay still.
If the tried and tested hasn’t worked for you, it’s time to think outside of the box. After all, there is no harm in trying out the
unusual ways of maintaining health.
Look To Religion
Now, you might not be a religious person, and that is understandable. But, just look at the correlation between religion and a longer life. The facts show that people of faith are more likely to live longer than their atheist cousins. In fact, they survive higher on average than most people. It’s almost like God doesn’t want them in heaven. Regardless of whether it’s your thing, a belief in a higher power does provide people with a structure for life. By following the framework, the chances are high that you won’t leave us sooner rather than later.
Reduce Calorie Intake
As it happens, almost every species subjected to a lower calorie intake tends to live longer. How do we know this? Well, some boffins tested it on animals back in the early 1900s. You know, that simpler time before animal rights groups started snooping around causing trouble. The fact is that it isn’t only mice and rats that show positive results because humans do too. Okay, so starving yourself doesn’t seem like a good idea, and it isn’t. But, lowering the amount you eat on a daily basis is healthy.
Shrink
No, being small doesn’t help you live longer. In this sense, ‘shrink’ is the vernacular for a psychiatrist. So, how do accredited mental health counseling programs help your physical health? There are lots of benefits, but the main one is the link between the brain and the body. Anyone that thinks a healthy diet and regular exercise are the keys to physical well-being is wrong. Firstly, you have to get your brain into the right frame of mind. After all, it is the organ that directs traffic whether you walk, run or jog down the street. A brain that isn’t up to scratch won’t be able to pull the strings, and your body will suffer.
Get Rich
50 Cent reckons people should get rich or die tryin’. Well, there is no need to bother about the other side if you’re wealthy. Across the world, the link between poverty and death is startling. Quite simply, poor people don’t have the resources for staples such as health care and nutritious food. You might think this doesn’t apply to you, but every country has layers. And, the more money you have, the higher up the ladder you can climb.
No one said the journey to the Fountain of Youth is going to be standard.
